Roosters to triumph over Mozzies Mount Burr v Robe ROBE will be fired up to regain its position on the winners’ list this weekend against a determined Mount Burr outfit. With precision shooting from both teams, the battle will be focused on who can stop the drive through the mid court before a scoring opportunity is provided. Chloe Vanderhorst has been strong for the Mozzies and provides strong options around the goal TOUGH JOB: Tantanoola’s Kate Sporer will need to work hard this week against tough opposition. Demons just Port MacDonnell v Tantanoola WITH the Demons dropping just one game and the Tigers having four wins and four losses, this match would be expected to go Port MacDonnell’s way. However, the Tigers put up a fight each week, and the final results do not always reflect the pressure they apply to their opponents. This match was very close in the first round and with Port MacDonnell showcasing a number of different players each week the score could go either way. Youngster Megan Hein has been stepping up every game for the Demons and has provided plenty of energy and drive for her team, along with Marie Lewis who provides solid drive through the mid court and feeds well into her goalies. They will need to be strong this week against the experienced centre court combination with the Tigers’ Casey Arney and Jess Bell fighting for the ball relentlessly. circle, as does Hayley Agnew. At the other end of the court though, Hayley Smart and Kim Ross drive hard onto the ball and feed with accuracy into their goal circle. The Roosters’ Camille Tucker and Mount Burr’s Ann Guyett will be forced to work overtime on the defensive wing to stop the drive ionto the circle and prevent any easy transitions into their opponent’s goalies. Mount Burr will battle until the final whistle, but the Roosters will take the premiership points. Hawks look for repeat performance Nangwarry v Kongorong IN Nangwarry and Kongorong’s first clash the Hawks came off the better side and secured its first win in many seasons. Both teams have presented tough competition this year and will be looking to hit the winners’ list again this Saturday. With Kayla Gray and Cassie Dinnison working hard in defence for the Saints, Ash Sturges and Tabatha Sanderson will have their work cut out creating scoring opportunities in the goal circle for the Hawks. Both teams have strong and fast centre court players with Alison Anderson and Pre Jennings driving with strength into their attack line. However, Nangwarry has the expe- rience of Theresa Stewart matched with youth in Tayla McKeon who play smart and hard netball through the centre court. Stewart and McKeon will need to work hard to beat the speed of Anderson and Jennings. The Hawks will be determined to repeat their last performance against the Saints and will take the points in a close encounter. DOING THE JOB: Port MacDonnell’s Marie Lewis has been a stand-out performer in the mid court. www.thesoutheasterntimes.com.au The Demons defence line will be tough for Jami Walker and Kate Sporer who will need to work hard to maintain possession and convert every scoring opportunity. Port MacDonnell will remain victors this weekend, but not without a tough fight. Hatherleigh v Glencoe WITH a solitary point separating Hatherleigh and Glencoe on the ladder this will be the match-of-theround. However, at the beginning of the season the Murphies proved their worth with a solid win over the Eagles to start the year on a high and they will be looking to repeat this performance to maintain their ladder position. Glencoe’s Bec Wilson has featured in the best players in recent weeks and she has settled into her role to become a dominant force in Glencoe’s defence. She will meet a tough opponent in Kelsey Wight this weekend though, who uses patience and skill to create the plays and own the goal ring. Megan Allan has been consistent in attack for the Eagles also, however she will be under pressure when she comes up against Ebony McDiarmid this weekend. Ashlea Edwards works hard through the mid court for Glencoe, and she will force Annabel Brooks to work hard for Hatherleigh. Erin Watson and Alyce Dent will match up well on the wing for the Eagles and the Murphies respectively. With Jordy Jones returning to the court for the Murphies, they will have the confidence and depth to take the points this week, but Hatherleigh will not give up easily. 668890
